A Rotating Dipole Model of the Photon

Authors: David Woods

We investigate a theoretical model in which the photon is treated as a rotating dipole composed of oppositely charged virtual particles. The dipole radius is derived from a balance between electrostatic attraction and centripetal force. Initial estimates, based solely on electrostatic interactions, yield values close to Planck’s constant, with deviations suggesting the need for additional force contributions. By incorporating magnetic interactions and identifying an equilibrium frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum, the model produces results in full agreement with Planck’s constant across all frequencies. A full derivation is provided. Potential implications for polarization behavior and photon-photon interactions are discussed, with future work focused on experimental validation and refinement of dynamic effects.
